Signs Of The End Of Times
June 2, 1988Vassula of My Sacred Heart, you have heard Me
whisper in your ear, I want to show you in Timothy I
and II everything that has been predicted for the last
days of your era; My creation has degenerated and has
fallen lower than the Sodomites; Darkness came upon
them as a deadly veil, sent by Satan; Satan has sent
many false teachers, false prophets who appear today
as philosophers, teaching dogmas which do not come
from Me your Lord, and My children, blinded by their
ignorance, fall into these traps set up by Satan; I wish
that these parts of Timothy be read in public as a
warning: 1 Timothy 4:1-16, and 6:20-21 and 2
Timothy 2:14-26; these prophecies were especially
pronounced for your times; then in 2 Timothy 3:1-17
in this passage it foretells the state of your era, to be
found now; for these are the last days before the end of
Times;solemnly, I request from you all to redouble your
prayers for a 'come back'; My Sacred Heart is open for
any soul who will repent and who wills to return to Me;
-------------
let Me bless you; I forgive your sins; say these words,~Jesus, March 26, 1987 True Life in God"May the Lord and God Almighty be Blessed,
May His Kingdom reign in eternal Glory,
May His Holy Name be Glorified,
May His Word penetrate and rest in each heart;
amen;"
-------------
Your whole guidance is easy to understand, Lord.~Jesus, May 27, 1987 True Life in God
It is not a complicated language.loftiness wearies Me; learn to be humble, simple, modest,
just like Me!Vassula, if you wish Me to be your Father, I will treat you as My
child; if you wish Me to be your Bridegroom, I will treat you as My
Bride; if you rebel against Me, I will treat you as a Judge; I am your
Saviour; favour Me above everything and all; never deny Me; come
often and drink and eat Me; I delight in you;
-------------
do you know how I felt that time you felt so unloved?~Jesus, May 31, 1987 True Life in GodWhere?
in My Church;*
No, Lord.I felt crucified all over again, bruised, scourged, spat upon,
nailed again; Vassula, how I love you! help Me revive My Church;
help Me by letting Me use you; courage, daughter, courage;Jesus, I didn’t know that all this would hurt You; I mean my
feeling of being unloved!no you did not know either that I never refuse anybody who
comes to Me; I am Love and Love is for everyone, no matter how
evil you can be;
-
Vassula, both My Hands have wounds, both My Feet have~Jesus, June 1, 1987 True Life in God
Wounds, My side is open, wide open showing My Heart; they are
recrucifying Me;Lord,
they are damaging My Church;Lord, is it so very bad?
it is, evil has blinded them; love is missing among them; they
are not sincere, they have distorted My Word, they have lamed even
My Body; My cup of Justice is full do not let it brim over! I want
them to stop smothering My Body; I, Jesus, am Love; I want them
to stop throwing venomous arrows at each other; harmony among
them will restore part of the damage; truthfulness will unmask evil,
why all these ceremonies when in truth they have nothing to offer
Me? I need purity, love, fidelity, humbleness, holiness;
seek in Me all that I desire and I will give it to you; seek My
interests and not yours; glorify Me, honour Me; words are not
enough, deeds of Love and cooperation will revive My Body;
brothers! love one another, O beloved how much will I have to
restore!
come daughter, rest in Me; peace upon you;
-------------
My Church Is Reigning In Confusion~Jesus, December 12, 1987 True Life in God
Do Not Judge"Vassula, it should never be up to you to accuse them,
learn to say instead: “let the Lord be Judge and correct
them;”

From "Where is your America?" by Libor Brom, IMPRIMIS; Hillsdale College, Hillsdale, Michigan, 49242 Vol 11, No. 8., August 1982
The fact is that we live in a time of fateful challenges. As a people and a nation we are under test. This challenge is, of course, Marxism-Leninism. There is no mystery in its strategies and tactics. It has always been concrete and spelled out in black and white. It has also been openly and actively tested in the economic, political, and ideological struggle for control around globe.
Lenin, the founder of the first Communist state, put it simply:
"First we will take Eastern Europe, then the masses of Asia. We will encircle the last bastion of capitalism, the United States of America. We will not need to fight. It will fall as a ripe fruit into our hands."And,
"We must practice coexistence with other nations, until we are strong enough to take over by means of world revolution.... We are not pacifists. Conflict is inevitable. Great political questions can be solved only through violence.... It is inconceivable that Communism and capitalism can exist side by side. Inevitably one must perish."
Rykov, Lenin's successor in the Council of Soviet Commissars, corroborated:
"It is our duty to inculcate in the minds of nations the theories of international friendship, pacifism, and disarmament, encouraging their resistance to military appropriations and training, without ever relaxing our own efforts in building our military equipment."
Manuilsky, a prominent Soviet professor at the School of Political Warfare, said:
"The bourgeoisie will have to be put to sleep. We shall begln by Launching the most spectacular peace movement on record. There will be electrifying overtures and unheard-of concessions. The capitalist countries, stupid and decadent, will rejoice to cooperate in their own destruction. They will leap at another chance to be friends."
And Khrushchev, a more contemporary Soviet prime minister, said:
"We cannot expect Americans to jump from capitalism to Communism, but we can assist their elected leaders in giving Americans doses of socialism until they suddenly awake to find out they have Communism."
Today, Marxism-Leninism represents a most complex and powerful doctrine developed by Communist theoreticians and practitioners in every corner of the world. Its universal library offers dynamic political weapons and comprehensive theories, diversified approaches and seductive slogans.
On one side of the globe, there is the Yugoslav moderate theory of reformed Communism and participative economy which lures masses into socialism.
On the other side of the earth there are Chinese slogans which are more productive in inflaming a Communist revolution.
Marxism-Leninism is particularly effective on the semantic level where it exhibits a devastating duality. It lulls its adversaries to sleep, while at the same time it mobilizes its followers to revolutionary action. The Communist International's Seventh Congress concluded that open use of revolutionary terminology does not promote the Marxist-Leninist drive for world domination.
Therefore, "revolution" has been changed into "liberation," "world conquest by the proletariat" has been changed into "peace and socialism," "armed seizure of power and liquidation of the bourgeoisie" has been rephrased to read "peaceful and gradual transition to socialism."
Even the word "Communism," which every revolutionary is so proud of, has been changed into "progressive", "anti-Fascist" or "liberal." Further, to confuse their adversaries, the Marxist-Leninists have devised a new language which uses old words in the basic vocabulary.
When they say "imperialism arouses the wrath of the people and digs its own grave," they mean "through our manipulation of the local Communist parties, and with a vast auxiliary corps of dupes and sympathizers, we so arrange matters that the free enterprise system and democracy are destroyed from within. All we need to do is push it into the grave."
Thus, the free, complacent, conscience-stricken, guilt-ridden, sex-sodden, drug-driven, decadent, and often antagonistic societies have been manipulated by goal-oriented, dedicated, and shrewd Marxist-Leninist dialectics into a notorious period of so-called peaceful coexistence and plain overt hostilities.
--Libor Brom, emeritus professor of Russian studies and Eastern European expert at the University of Denver, served as president of the World Representation of Czechoslovak Exiles and chairman of the Czech World Union.

Natural-Born Citizen Defined
One universal point most all early publicists agreed on was natural-born citizen must mean one who is a citizen by no act of law. If a person owes their citizenship to some act of law (naturalization for example), they cannot be considered a natural-born citizen. This leads us to defining natural-born citizen under the laws of nature – laws the founders recognized and embraced.
Under the laws of nature, every child born requires no act of law to establish the fact the child inherits through nature his/her father’s citizenship as well as his name (or even his property) through birth. This law of nature is also recognized by law of nations. Sen. Howard said the citizenship clause under the Fourteenth Amendment was by virtue of “natural law and national law.”
The advantages of Natural Law is competing allegiances between nations are not claimed, or at least with those nations whose custom is to not make citizens of other countries citizens without their consent. Under Sec. 1992 of U.S. Revised Statutes (1866) made clear other nation’s citizens would not be claimed:
“All persons born in the United States and not subject to any foreign power, excluding Indians not taxed, are declared to be citizens of the United States.”
Rep. John A. Bingham commenting on Section 1992 said it means “every human being born within the jurisdiction of the United States of parents not owing allegiance to any foreign sovereignty is, in the language of your Constitution itself, a natural born citizen.” (Cong. Globe, 39th, 1st Sess., 1291 (1866))

“You know what's wrong with scientific power?" Malcolm said.
“It’s a form of inherited wealth. And you know what assholes congenitally rich people are. It never fails."
Hammond said, "What is he talking about?”
Harding made a sign, indicating delirium. Malcolm cocked his eye.
“I will tell you what I am talking about," he said.
"Most kinds of power require a substantial sacrifice by whoever wants the power.
There is an apprenticeship, a discipline lasting many years.
Whatever kind of power you want. President of the company. Black belt in karate. Spiritual guru.
Whatever it is you seek, you have to put in the time, the practice, the effort.
You must give up a lot to get it. It has to be very important to you.
And once you have attained it, it’s your power. It can't be given away: it resides in you.
It is literally the result of your discipline.
Now what is interesting about this process is that,
by the time someone has acquired the ability to kill with his bare hands,
he has also matured to the point where he won't use it unwisely.
So that kind of power has a built-in control.
The discipline of getting the you so that you won't abuse it.
But scientific power is like inherited wealth: attained without discipline.
You read what others have done, and you take the next step.
You can do it very young. You can make progress very fast.
There is no discipline lasting many decades.
There is no mastery: old scientists are ignored.
There is no humility before nature.
There is only a get-rich-quick, make-a-name-for-yourself-fast philosophy.
Cheat, lie, falsify--it doesn't matter. Not to you, or to your colleagues.
No one will criticize you. No one has any standards.
They all trying to do the same thing: to do something big, and do it fast.”
“And because you can stand on the shoulders of giants, you can accomplish something quickly.
You don't even-know exactly what you have done, but already you have reported it; patented it, and sold it.”
“And the buyer will have even less discipline than you. The buyer simply purchases the power, like any commodity.
The buyer doesn’t even conceive that any discipline might be necessary.”
Hammond said, "Do you know what he is talking about?"
Ellie nodded.
“I haven't a clue”; Hammond said.
“I’ll make it simple.” Malcolm said.
"A karate master does not kill people with his bare hands. He does not lose his temper and kill his wife.
The person who kills is the person who has no discipline no restraint,
and who has purchased his power in the form of a Saturday night special.”
“And that is the kind of power that science fosters, and permits.
And that is why you think that to build a place like this is simple."
"It was simple," Hammond insisted.
'Then why did it go wrong?"

Garabandal’s Prophecy About Communism
-------------
We are reluctant participants.
I don't remember who said it, but there is truth to the idea that, while other nations were born of history, America was born of ideology.
Our ancestors came here for the ideological freedom our Founding Fathers so eloquently expressed in our founding documents, in our Declaration of Independence and in our Constitution. Unfortunately, Satan runs the same con games here as he does everywhere else throughout history and has been chipping away at our original Judeo-Christian foundation. This was very true here during the early part of the 20th century, and our leadership then is testimony.
The evil seeds Satan had been planting all over Europe for all millennia grew nicely in the fertile soil of the late 1800s and early 1900s and soon overwhelmed Europe not once, but twice in 50 years. If you want to know the depths of evil we are capable of, it's not hard to find examples, but you can find it all condensed into those few years.
Perhaps it's a survival mechanism or something left over from childhood, but one of the most amazing aspects of our mental/emotional make up is an ability to rationalize any act, behavior or deed. From this, evil often flows freely in a sinful creature such as we, but especially so in a mind that has turned away from God and is without the tools of prayer and its and His protection. In such a mind, philosophy is corrupted away from the laws of God's 10 Commandments and the natural laws inherent in the world God created, and into the progressive "'ism" philosophies of Satan himself: marxism, communism, socialism, fascism, etc.
Unfortunately, when it comes to choosing our kings and leaders, we, the sinful, almost always choose poorly. We like the perks and the "feel good" stuff the progressives everywhere, throughout time, always promise and then we conveniently ignore how those promises are fulfilled and where our world will be progressed to. Who cares? The ends justify the means, right?
Satan is thousands of time smarter than we are and has been practicing on humans since the beginning. We are easily fooled and often fall like somnambulists into cults of personality behind charismatic leaders, becoming blind, useful idiots progressing ourselves into the darkness.
Americans have fallen far and have thus fallen for, and even under the spell of, several such personalities throughout our history. Each of these men, and the organizations they created with the stamp of government approval and imbued with its power, have progressively turned our institutions and our national psychology away from God and His principles, so eloquently expressed in our founding documents and Constitution, to the progressive "'isms" of Satan.
When the world needed us and twice called us to war, we were governed by the progressive presidents Wilson and FDR. Today, we have learned the truth of their mantra of never letting a crisis go to waste, thanks in no small part to those two men and the consequences of the ideology and master they served. Most of our problems have come from the "solutions" they put into place to fix the problems their policies created. Satanic as it can be in the truest sense of the word. It's a vicious circle spinning down and away from God.
When things spin in circles, we have a déjà vu like experience of seeing the same things over and over again. Or, perhaps “not seeing” is more accurate. We, the People, were blind/blinded to the plight of the Jews then, just as we are blind/blinded today to much of what is done in the world in our name, by those some of us chose to lead and represent us, just as the Germans were blind to what they had created or had allowed to spawn from them. Blind. Blind trust. Blind faith. “Stick you head in the sand” blind.
Had the Germans understood, perhaps they would not have allowed themselves to be disarmed. Same for the Russians. Then, perhaps they could have stopped themselves from becoming Satan's Nazis and Satan’s Soviet Communists, something they all were powerless to resist, once disarmed as they were.
We all fought and sacrificed, and we won the war and created Israel once again, setting the stage for the final chapter of the story we were born into. Obviously, the evil that was embodied by the antichrists Hitler and Stalin didn't die at the end of WWII, or with the fall of the Berlin Wall, or with the collapse of the Soviet union or with either of them. It is everywhere still, but especially here and now in the good ol' US of A.
This was to be about gun control and I don't want to go too far from that topic. EVERYONE should fight against gun control, because it isn't guns that are being controlled. I don't know what we could turn into if we are disarmed, but a world ripped apart by two world wars should be very, very worried. The Nazi and Soviet government Beasts should have been more than enough experience to make absolutely certain we not create another. Yet, we are and perhaps this time we will create the Beast of Revelation. End of Times, generation?
"If not us, who?" "If not now, when?"
Looking around, I see us heading for the edge. The progressives have been working us over for 100 years or so and are well entrenched. We are progressively removing God from our lives here and replacing Him with self-esteem, political correctness and big government largess and control. We've seen this before and it doesn't end well. Since we will not even have a glance at history and its lessons, it will have its way with US.
We are progressively turning and/or have turned away from God and abandoned the Covenant our Founding Fathers made with Him to found this nation.
In response, He has sent harbingers to get our attention.
We responded with pride, just as in Isaiah.
He has opened a large hole in the wall of protection He put in place and now the Trojan horse we let inside has been fully disemboweled of its true cargo.
Our Bill of Rights, ALL of them, are under assault and if they fall, that will be proof to the world that we have fallen into the hands of Satan himself. If we fall, then in all honesty, all Hell breaks loose here on earth. If you thought Nazi Germany was evil, you ain't seen nothing yet if we fall to the dark side. It is trying hard to take us down from within. Pray for us!
I realize that sounds a bit overly dramatic and I regret any who react as such. None the less, it is what it is and we, quite frankly, are in a very dangerous place and most don't have a clue about that or what's coming. Only God can save us, as a nation and as individuals. Please, pray for us to turn back to God.

If that was George Washington's, and our, covenant to begin this nation, what happens now?
We have disregarded those "eternal rules of order and right which Heaven itself has ordained" and have turned away.
So...has the grace, fortune and protection our nation has enjoyed been removed?
It sure looks and feels like it, but is it too late to turn back?

“And how we burned in the camps later, thinking:
What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family?
Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?...
The Organs would very quickly have suffered a shortage of officers and transport and, notwithstanding all of Stalin’s thirst, the cursed machine would have ground to a halt!

by Walter E. Williams:
Rep. John Lewis, D-Ga., in the wake of the Newtown, Conn., shootings, said: "The British are not coming. ... We don't need all these guns to kill people." Lewis' vision, shared by many, represents a gross ignorance of why the framers of the Constitution gave us the Second Amendment.
How about a few quotes from the period and you decide whether our Founding Fathers harbored a fear of foreign tyrants.
Alexander Hamilton: "The best we can hope for concerning the people at large is that they be properly armed," adding later, "If the representatives of the people betray their constituents, there is then no recourse left but in the exertion of that original right of self-defense which is paramount to all positive forms of government." By the way, Hamilton is referring to what institution when he says "the representatives of the people"?
James Madison: "(The Constitution preserves) the advantage of being armed, which the Americans possess over the people of almost every other nation ... (where) the governments are afraid to trust the people with arms."
Thomas Jefferson: "What country can preserve its liberties if its rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms."
George Mason, author of the Virginia Bill of Rights, which inspired our Constitution's Bill of Rights, said, "To disarm the people — that was the best and most effectual way to enslave them."
Rep. John Lewis and like-minded people might dismiss these thoughts by saying the founders were racist anyway. Here's a more recent quote from a card-carrying liberal, the late Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey: "Certainly, one of the chief guarantees of freedom under any government, no matter how popular and respected, is the right of the citizen to keep and bear arms. ... The right of the citizen to bear arms is just one guarantee against arbitrary government, one more safeguard against the tyranny which now appears remote in America but which historically has proven to be always possible." I have many other Second Amendment references at http://econfaculty.gmu.edu/wew/quotes.html.
How about a couple of quotations with which Rep. Lewis and others might agree? "Armas para que?" (translated: "Guns, for what?") by Fidel Castro. There's a more famous one: "The most foolish mistake we could possibly make would be to allow the subject races to possess arms. History shows that all conquerors who have allowed their subject races to carry arms have prepared their own downfall by so doing." That was Adolf Hitler.
Here's the gun grabbers' slippery-slope agenda, laid out by Nelson T. Shields, founder of Handgun Control Inc.: "We're going to have to take this one step at a time, and the first step is necessarily — given the political realities — going to be very modest. ... Right now, though, we'd be satisfied not with half a loaf but with a slice. Our ultimate goal — total control of handguns in the United States — is going to take time. ... The final problem is to make the possession of all handguns and all handgun ammunition — except for the military, police, licensed security guards, licensed sporting clubs and licensed gun collectors — totally illegal" (The New Yorker, July 1976).
There have been people who've ridiculed the protections afforded by the Second Amendment, asking what chance would citizens have against the military might of the U.S. government. Military might isn't always the deciding factor. Our 1776 War of Independence was against the mightiest nation on the face of the earth — Great Britain. In Syria, the rebels are making life uncomfortable for the much-better-equipped Syrian regime. Today's Americans are vastly better-armed than our founders, Warsaw Ghetto Jews and Syrian rebels.
There are about 300 million privately held firearms owned by Americans. That's nothing to sneeze at. And notice that the people who support gun control are the very people who want to control and dictate our lives.
